Hi, my server has a broken fall damage and I don’t know what to do with it, I jump from 2-3 blocks and it kills me, I jump down the small stairs and I’m dead…Please help

Is it a private server fellow exile or official?
Well, “I knew a guy” who died slipping from a air mattress half inflated.
I guess they are going for realism.
Fall damage like other damages, is calculated from some stuff. Often when they change things, this happens. If where you falling, or the conditions of the fall would not be a matter of dying, then there is a problem.
Try to fall in different places of the map to see if it happens in a specific place, so it is easier to know what is the problem exactly.
If it is a private server, I have seen another post from someone reporting that reducing damage from ‘friendly fire’ in the server settings was somehow impacting fall damage. I can’t recall exactly what they said (whether it was reducing fall damage instead of reducing friendly fire, or maybe was increasing fall damage inverse to friendly fire) - but that might give you a setting you could play with and try different options to see if it is affecting you.
Edit: found a related thread here
2nd Edit: Aha - this is the report I was remembering here

Good to find that … it was good “research”.
As I said:
Saw an interesting thing while doing work on Thrallskill mod that might help finding it.
It seems fall damage is classified as “you damaging yourself” in a sort of way. So when they changed stuff, they might have not remembered that it is done in such way, and thus, the fall damage and the “Friendly Damage” are confounded because when you take a fall, for the system, you taking both fall damage and friendly damage (from yourself).
I had to workaround it because the mod deals with thralls gaining experience from combat damage, so I had to change it in order to not gain experience from friendly damage, and stumbled upon that “patch work”.
Maybe should do away with that ?

It happens to me everywhere, no matter where I fall, 2-3 blocks and I’m dead…
Thank you very much, but my server has PVP turned off, I have PVE…Do you think it would still be affected by friedly fire if I don’t have it turned on?

The honest answer is that I don’t know. (Even if it was turned on, I don’t know if it would necessarily be the cause.) But even with it turned off, the ‘rate’ still exists in the server settings, so maybe?
My suggestion would be maybe try turning the rate right up and see if that changes anything, then turn it all the way down and see if that changes anything - if nothing changes then at least you’ve eliminated that possibility. If something does change then maybe it will let you get closer to a solution. Either way, with Friendly Fire turned off, it shouldn’t matter what rate you have it set to, so if it is the answer then it will mean you don’t need to worry about also finding a good balance for the Friendly Fire itself.
I play official pvp on console and have the opposite. Fall damage has been reduced significantly. I jumped from heliograph the other day and only lost 200hp

Noticed the same thing.
I play pve private and SP and in both I’m taking hardly any fall damage no matter where I jump.
